New spy photos of the BMW 1 Series sedan reveal the upcoming model’s headlights and not much else.

Last week, the first batch of 1 Series sedan spy photos gave us a good look at the car’s profile and now it appears the German automaker has removed a bit of the camouflage to reveal the model’s headlights. The 1 Series sedan will be the first front-wheel drive member for the 1 Series lineup and the platform is expected to underpin all future 1 Series models.

In other words, if you’re a fan of the rear-wheel drive 1 Series, you better act fast. The 1 Series sedan will be followed up by a five-door hatch and then a three-door hatch while the next-generation 2 Series coupe and convertible will also be switching to a front-wheel drive platform.

Expect the 1 Series sedan to arrive in 2016.

BMW is preparing to shake up the entry-level luxury segment and they’re going to do it with front-wheel drive.

The BMW 1 Series sedan will be the German automaker’s new entry-level model geared towards competing with the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and the Audi A3 in the sub-$30,000 luxury segment. The prototype was spied testing in Germany and will ride on the company’s new front-wheel drive UKL platform.

The BMW 1 Series will actually be late to the party, as both the CLA and A3 are already taking market share and the 1 Series isn’t expected to arrive until 2016 as a 2017 model year. Similar to the CLA and A3, the 1 Series will also be offered with xDrive all-wheel drive as an option with turbocharged three- and four-cylinder engines powering the entry-level sedan.

BMW fanboys, you may want to take a seat. The German automaker known for building the world’s very best rear-wheel drive performance sedans is planning to offer a new entry-level four-door with wrong-wheel drive.

According to a new report, the upcoming 1 Series will be offered as a sedan with power being sent to the rear front wheels.

Internally called the NES (New Entry-level Sedan), the 1 Series is being designed to take on the upcoming 2015 Audi A3 and Mercedes CLA – both of which are also front-wheel drive. Like it’s key rivals, the new 1 Series will also be available with optional all-wheel drive.

Last year it was rumored that BMW would considering a 1 Series sedan model, and the German automaker recently confirmed that such a car is still a possibility.

Following the debut of the Audi A3 sedan at the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show, BMW representatives have revealed that the entry-level sedan model is under consideration, but there are no current plans to do it at the moment.

In China alone, the segment makes up 5.5-million vehicle sales a year, and is the world’s biggest single segment. Another consideration is a MINI sedan model that would compete in the compact market. BMW is already investing heavily into small cars with a new front-wheel drive platform underpinning 20 models between both MINI and BMW.

“BMW is never shy of new segments,” said BMW sales and marketing boss, Ian Robertson in an interview with Auto Express. “There are no plans to do it at the moment, but do we want to do it? We’ll see…”

If the latest rumors are to believed, BMW will usher in its next-generation of 1-Series models in 2016 with a sedan in its lineup as well as the German automaker’s new front-wheel drive architecture.

In a way, BMW gave us a preview of the next-generation 1-Series with its Concept Active Tourer at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. Along with the front-wheel drive platform, the automaker will power its smallest model with a 1.5-liter three-cylinder, turbocharged engine. Higher models in the 1-Series lineup will benefit from a turbocharged four-cylinder powerplant.

The addition of a 1-Series sedan model would give BMW a competitor against its German counterparts, namely the Audi A3, which is expected to get a sedan version for the current version to help bolster sales in North America.

The main dilemma for BMW, however, is how it will price the 1-Series sedan in order to not cannibalize 3-Series sales.
